Fall update

I have not been pretty bad about blogging the past few months. A friend told me a few weeks ago that they enjoyed reading my blog b/c it helps them feel connected to my life. I'll try to do better.

I was surprised to find out on Thursday night that we (my roommate and
myself) had tickets to go see the Broadway musical RENT this weekend! After moving some work meetings and other things around I was able to enjoy the musical . It was a nice afternoon with good friends and a nice break from my weekend of work.

As many of you know my parents sold my childhood home in Van Meter and now will be "snow birds" and be spending there winters in TX. I will be joining them for 10 days over my Christmas vacation. I was not quite sure where there new home was so I did some looking online. I did not know that my parents would be moving to Mexico/Taxes really on the border. I am looking forward to spending time with my parents, going to Mexico, South Padres Islands, eating shrimp and enjoy water aerobics with all the old ladies in the pool. The new winter home is close to McAllen TX. If you notice the map to the right, you can look south and see the green star, that's HOME, mostly in Mexico. A few photo highlights of the new house... The front of the house , the kitchen (YES! I know it's PURPLE!), and my parents know own an orange tree...
